Dunwoody Homeowners Association Early History

 The Dunwoody Homeowner's Association has been around for fifty-five years. It started with a large parcel of land behind the Dunwoody library (formerly a school).  Jim Cowart, a name synonymous with land, development, and money in Dunwoody, wanted to build high-density condominiums .  Local homeowners did not like this plan and organized against it.

The Cowart name should be familiar to those members of the Georgetown Rec Club/Pool.









Some early documents on Cowart and zoning in Dunwoody:



























The Farmhouse Tea Shoppe

 The Farmhouse Tea Shoppe operated briefly out of the farmhouse at 5455 Chamblee Dunwoody Road in Dunwoody.
